[Eberron] The Forgotten Forge

[MadMaxim]

"Excellent idea, Rawhide. Throw it down the shaft and let's see how deep this thing is..."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

You throw the rock down into the shaft and wait. You hear it skipping off walls as it drops off into the darkness, but cannot get a definite sense of how deep the tunnel is. After a short while, you hear a couple short bounces followed by a scratching/sliding sound — clearly stone against stone — but cannot see the rock.

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide lets out a long, low whistle. "Purdy deep...", he says simply.

 

[Krug]

"We could just try climbing down...without a rope...Rawhide can still go first," Plonk says, trying not to snort.

 

[MadMaxim]

"Why didn't anyone bring rope...?" Gannon looks around at the party, looking rather puzzled. "Shall I go get some rope while you wait here? I'm fairly certain we're going to need it, if we're going down that shaft and we want to get to the bottom of it in one piece."

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks back to Gannon, "Why yous not bring it - yous da boss..."

 

[Knight Otu]

"You should not go alone, Gannon. Either Plonk or me should accompany you. Remember that we still do not know what those voices were."

 

[Krug]

"Lets stick together," says Plonk. "Remember that spider thing we fought? Who knows what beasts there are here."

Plonk searches for something they can use to descend the shaft.

Can he improvise something from his bedroll and backpack?and the spider sac? He's ok with losing these items.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Unless we can close that door again, some of us should stay here. We should not let the door open for our enemies, who might be able to handle that shaft better."

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide begins rummaging around - he's survived his whole life by making due with what was at hand and could be scavanged - so his natural instinct was to do so again. The shifter looks around for anything that could be fashioned to help get them down the shaft: bits of chain, rope, roots - anything...
